Hey Dawn! I've done a post telling the 'story' of how my blog name came about ... but the post link had too many characters in it for my linky, so I've just popped my blog address in it and it's the most recent post ... fun to see where people's blog names came from! :0) Bear Hugs! KRIS

Not feeling well enough for a blog post at present so guess I am not in the running but want to share anyway. I have long loved the Frost poem "Stopping by the woods..." and love the line about promises to keep and miles to go before I sleep. My life has been turned upside down by severe fibromyalgia. It was the reason my ex filed for divorce and learning to live with chronic pain can really get the best of me. However, I remembered that poem and that particular line and decided to promise myself that I would not give up, and would continue to do the things I loved before illness - as I am able - quilting and hand-sewing for antique dolls being two such things I have promised myself. There are many days when it would be easier to stay in bed and just give in to the pain, but I made that promise to myself and will not give up or give in.

I have a friend in CA Jan, who I watch and learn from everyday. she teaches me so many things...so this AM I learned g=how she named her quilting blog. I never knew. So the story behind my little bog..Pressing My Seams Open...I am a self taught quilter for about 10 years now. I began my addiction while we lived in WI and were in the midst of some horrible foster care situations (we were the providers) I quilted at night after all the kids were in bed and my husband was at work. The ladies at my favorite quilt shot in Racine, WI would talk me through things I couldn't figure out. They were the best. We have several other blogs on our family blog what we write (theellisfamilycincinnati.blogspot.com) I always, in the beginning before I knew better) pressed my seams open. So it just seemed natural.
